Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1233 - 567: Second-Layer Integration, Heaven-Shaking Hammer Talisman (Part 2)

Indeed, it is one of the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans: the Heaven-Shaking Hammer Talisman.

This particular Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman originates from the legendary immortal artifact known as the Heaven-Shaking Hammer.

Classified as an attack-type immortal artifact, its lethality is virtually unparalleled. With a single strike, it possesses the power to convulse the heavens and earth, shatter the void, and effortlessly crush Immortals to death—a truly renowned immortal artifact.

Even in its transmuted talisman form, its might remains formidable.

Should he succeed in inscribing this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman, Jiang Fan would then need to master only four more, inching him ever closer to complete mastery of all Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans.

Boom~~

With this in mind, Jiang Fan did not hesitate, promptly expending a substantial amount of Luck Points.

A mystical energy permeated the depths of his sea of consciousness, plunging him into a state of profound epiphany.

Vast reservoirs of knowledge concerning the Heaven-Shaking Hammer Talisman flowed directly into his soul.

The intricate secrets of this talisman were grasped with effortless ease.

In that very instant, he attained the Unity of Heaven and Man state, free from both joy and sorrow.

"Did you not state that a breakthrough after advancing to the Integration stage typically requires several hundred years?"

"How did Master manage to reach the second layer of Integration in under five years?"

"Do you truly comprehend the cultivation methods of Integration Cultivators?"

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron inquired with curiosity.

"What do you know, you simpleton? For ordinary Integration Cultivators, the cultivation process indeed spans such an extended period."

"Even those of absolute genius are no exception; the magical power they accumulate necessitates rigorous cultivation."

"However, Master is entirely different."

"He has been bestowed with Heaven's Gifts, akin to consuming a ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine."

"Such fortuitous encounters are exceptionally rare,"

the Demon-Vibrating Bell stated with evident irritation.

"Precisely, Heaven's Gifts do not manifest without cause."

"Only when a Great Thousand World faces its most dire peril will Heaven bestow its gifts."

"Concurrently, a cultivator must undertake actions that benefit Heaven and Earth to merit Heaven's rewards."

"If not for venturing into the Spirit Ruins Realm, how could such gifts have been obtained?"

"This Great Thousand World is truly a realm of immense opportunity for Master."

"Should he cultivate here and receive numerous Heaven's Gifts, he might soon ascend to the ninth layer of Integration,"

the Exquisite Tower added with a sense of awe.

It, too, had never anticipated its master would consecutively receive so many Heaven's Gifts.

The singular Origin Energy alone was sufficient to spare its master a millennium of arduous cultivation.

This effect surpassed that of consuming a seventh-tier Elixir.

However, such extraordinary opportunities are reserved for exceptional circumstances.

"I trust you now recognize the extraordinary nature of this Child of Destiny."

"Such individuals are born imbued with destiny, and their cultivation speed naturally defies conventional limits."

"If he cultivated like an ordinary cultivator, how could he possibly be designated the Child of Destiny?"

"Naturally, even when compared to many other Children of Destiny, this young man exhibits a distinct level of extraordinariness,"

the Human Emperor Sword declared.

It had borne witness to countless Children of Destiny throughout the Void Realm's history, all beings of exceptional talent and brilliance.

Yet, Jiang Fan presented a stark contrast to these individuals.

It was as though all outcomes lay under his command, as if fate itself rested within his grasp.

"Regardless, this development is unequivocally positive."

"After all, the more rapid the cultivation pace, the greater the time available for comprehending Laws and Dao Rhythm."

"Ascending to Mahasiddha is no simple feat,"

the Primordial Talisman Pen remarked.

It expressed considerable satisfaction with Jiang Fan's current cultivation trajectory.

This accelerated pace did not compromise the stability of his foundation.

Furthermore, it conserved a significant amount of time previously dedicated to rigorous cultivation, allowing him to focus his energy on more crucial pursuits.

This approach would undoubtedly enable him to advance even further.

......

Two months elapsed.

It was evident that Jiang Fan had not only naturally comprehended the Heaven-Shaking Hammer Talisman but had also successfully transformed this particular Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman into his own Life Talisman. The enigmatic pattern of the hammer now resided deep within his Primordial Spirit.

For him, this was a task undertaken with profound familiarity.

After all, he had lost count of the Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans he had engraved previously; this was merely one addition to that prodigious collection.

BOOM~~

With this thought, Jiang Fan directed his intent and instantly activated the Heaven-Shaking Hammer Talisman.

In the subsequent moment, this Immortal Realm Talisman seamlessly transformed into a resplendent black hammer, which materialized directly into his grasp.

Bong!

With a gentle swing of the black hammer in his hand, Jiang Fan unleashed a terrifying might that made the surrounding void tremble, creating ripples.

Had the power been even slightly amplified, it could have potentially fractured the void itself.

This formidable ability originated from the Heaven-Shaking Hammer Talisman.

It possessed the capability to lock onto an enemy's aura and deliver a decisive blow.

Undoubtedly, this Immortal Realm Talisman would become a crucial trump card in his arsenal.

"Not bad."

Jiang Fan expressed his deep satisfaction with the power demonstrated by this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman.

He mused that with even greater proficiency, this Spirit Talisman would surely unleash even more devastating power.

With this thought, he shifted his focus and brought up his Personal Virtual Panel.

[Realm: Second-Layer Integration (13%)]

[Profession: Lower Grade Tier Seven Talisman Master (56%)]

It was undeniable that the various abilities he possessed had undergone a monumental transformation compared to before.

Previously, the skill level for his numerous Life Talismans was merely at the Proficient Level.

However, after five years of dedicated cultivation and the expenditure of billions of Luck Points, the skill level of the various Life Talismans on his person had surged, attaining the Mastery Level.

This represented a qualitative leap in power.

"I have achieved the Mastery Level."

Jiang Fan clenched his fist, a surge of accomplishment washing over him.

He sensed profoundly that upon reaching the Mastery Level with these Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans, their potency had changed dramatically. Once activated, these Life Talismans were capable of channeling the power of numerous Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Consequently, their destructive capabilities had increased manifold, making them utterly distinct from their prior state.

He also came to understand the reason why, during his time as a Void Refining Cultivator, he had been unable to elevate these Life Talismans to the Mastery Level, regardless of his efforts.

The primary impediment was his cultivation realm.

To advance the proficiency to the Mastery Level, one was required to comprehend the Dao Rhyme inherent in the Laws of Heaven and Earth and achieve a degree of resonance with them, thereby invoking the Power of Laws.

It could be asserted that these Life Talismans now truly contained a fraction of the power wielded by genuine Immortal Realm Talismans.

"Nonetheless, the most significant advantage derived from cultivating these Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans lies in the process itself, wherein one can comprehend the Dao Rhyme of Laws, a feat unparalleled by any other method."

"For typical Integration Realm cultivators aiming to comprehend the Dao Rhyme of Laws, there are but a few available avenues."

"The first involves seeking out Spiritual Objects imbued with the Dao Rhyme of Laws. However, such objects are invariably Tier Seven or higher, exceedingly rare, and practically impossible to procure even with ample wealth."

"The second method entails relying on the Primordial Spirit to perceive the void, to understand the workings of heaven and earth, and over a protracted period, to gradually achieve resonance with the Laws residing in the deepest parts of the void, thus seizing the opportune moment to connect with them.However, this approach demands excessive time, with gains often minimal even after thousands or tens of thousands of years, relying purely on fortune. The third method involves utilizing Immortal Artifacts, as their activation can generate ripples in the Heaven and Earth Laws, thereby sensing the Dao Rhyme of the universal Laws. Nevertheless, the Dao Rhyme a single Immortal Artifact can summon is restricted. For instance, some artifacts might only invoke the Law of Fire, allowing cultivators to perceive merely the Dao Rhyme of Fire. If they happen to lack resonance with the Fire Dao Rhyme, its utility becomes quite limited. Consequently, the majority of Integration stage cultivators opt for the second method: seeking out Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects imbued with Dao Rhyme. Yet, the availability of such rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects is exceedingly scarce. Jiang Fan stroked his chin thoughtfully.
